Benefits of LASIK Surgery

Below are the benefits of LASIK surgery:

• Quick, painless procedure: Done under numbing drops and takes 10–15 minutes per eye.
• Corrects a wide power range: Can correct up to –8 to –10D (myopia) and +6D (hyperopia), with astigmatism correction up to 6D.
• Improved Quality of Life: Helps correct high refractive errors so daily life feels easier.
• Long-term correction: Results are long-lasting, though vision can still change naturally with age.

Eligibility for LASIK Surgery

Most patients, when looking for refractive correction solutions, ask: “Am I eligible for LASIK Surgery?” Below are the common eligibility checks for LASIK surgery:

• Age & stable power: Above 18 years of age with stable glasses number for at least 6 months.
• Eye power range: Suitability includes range up to –10 to –12D (myopia), +6D (hyperopia), and up to 6D astigmatism.
• Corneal thickness & shape: Corneal mapping and thickness tests confirm if reshaping is safe for your cornea.
• Dry eye risk: Tear film is assessed so comfort and healing stay smooth; dryness is treated first if needed.
• Healthy eyes overall: No active infection/inflammation, and conditions like uncontrolled glaucoma, significant corneal disease or pregnancy/lactation need special evaluation.

Note: Your doctor will confirm whether LASIK is suitable for you during the evaluation.

LASIK Surgery Types in Ashok Vihar

LASIK type	How does it work?	Suitable for
Standard LASIK	A corneal flap is created, then an excimer laser reshapes the underlying cornea.	It suits patients who want a standard, non-customisedLASIK procedure to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism (as advised).
Bladeless LASIK (Femto LASIK)	A femtosecond laser creates the flap, followed by excimer laser correction for added precision.	It suits patients who want a blade-free flap creation procedure with laser correction for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism (as advised).
Contoura Vision	Topography-guided LASIK that maps 22,000+ points on the cornea, then uses that corneal map to guide laser correction and improve vision quality.	It suits patients with myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, especially when corneal irregularities / visual axis issues need more personalised correction (as advised).
Custom Eyes	Advanced flap-based customised LASIK that maps 1,00,000+ points on the cornea to plan a more personalised correction for rapid and precise outcomes.	It suits patients advised for highly customised correction, especially where surgeons want to address higher-order aberrations or reduce glare/halos (as advised).

Note: Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate option after your LASIK work-up.

Risks & Side Effects of LASIK Surgery

The following are the risks & side effects of LASIK surgery:

• Dryness: Tear production can drop temporarily; improves with lubricating drops.
• Glare/halos or light sensitivity: Can happen early on (especially at night) and settle as healing continues.
• Temporary blur: Mild blur or fogginess is common at first; vision improves in 24–48 hours, with small ups/downs for a few weeks.
• Flap-related issues (uncommon): LASIK involves creating a corneal flap, so rare flap-related problems can occur and are managed by your surgeon if they arise.

Recovery After LASIK Surgery

LASIK recovery is quick, but your eyes still need time to heal. Many people notice clearer vision within 3-4 days, and then the vision steadily settles over the next few weeks. What LASIK surgery recovery looks like:

• First 24–48 hours: Vision feels hazy, and your eyes can feel gritty/watery with brightness or light sensitivity. This is common early on. Rest your eyes, use drops on time, and avoid screens/bright light as advised.
• First 2–3 days: Many people return to routine or desk work within a couple of days if the doctor clears them. Keep your hands away from your eyes and avoid rubbing.
• First 1-2 months: Vision becomes more stable. Dryness or night glare can come and go for some people and improve with lubricating drops and follow-ups.
